Dear Jamison,
Well, sweet boy your mama is almost 9 months pregnant now. It's funny because before I was ever pregnant I always thought that if someone was 9 months pregnant it meant they were about to give birth, but no. It's a full 9 months which means you could be born today or in a few weeks. Your dad and I are finally getting a little more settled in our home and everything seems a lot more real than before. Things are happening very quickly and every little baby item we set up is a reminder that you will be here soon!
As these days wind down I find myself already categorizing events into a "before Jamison is born" and "after Jamison is born" frame of mind. Your arrival has already changed our lives for the better. I just wish you could see this version of myself and your dad; parents but not-quite-parents, our younger selves about to go on an incredible adventure. I'd like for you to be able to meet us as we are now and know that we are young twenty-somethings who are in love. I want you to know our story.
As these next few days fly by, I want you to know how excited we are. You were our world before you ever came into the world, and have always been a part of us. Whoever you are, whoever you want to be, we will accept you fully and love you. You are already loved so much. We've been getting everything ready for you, we've been praying, and waiting. Our anticipation is unreal and oh-so very exciting. Hello Jamison! Welcome home! We've been waiting for you.
I love you,
Your Mama
